Our student consultation
Be part of the change you want to see. Voice your ideas and contribute to our collective impact.
Purpose of the consultations
The diverse perspectives and contributions of our students are invaluable in shaping the future of societal impact at UNSW. Commencing in February 2024 we will be running student consultations in Sydney and Canberra. These consultations will begin the university-wide engagement process to genuinely understand how UNSW can create a better world and the strategic priorities needed to enable this.
Date: February 2024 (exact dates will be confirmed).
Format: 2 hour workshop.
Where: UNSW Kensington (territory of the Bedegal people) and UNSW Canberra (territory of the Ngunnawal people) campuses.
A comprehensive Discussion Paper is now available. The purpose of this paper is to create a shared understanding of what UNSW’s Societal Impact Framework is aiming to achieve and the importance of the consultations as a key source of insights. Early views and research presented in this paper will undergo changes as we listen, learn and reconsider during the consultations.

Why your input is important
At UNSW, we know that being a student involves more than just classes – it's about your well-being, social connections, building skills for lifelong learning and identifying where to next.Ìý That's why in February 2024 we will be hosting consultations in Sydney and Canberra, to understand how we can have more positive impact on your trajectory and help you make a positive impact right now, not just after graduation.
This might include being involved in clubs and societies that create positive change in the community, engaging in research that seeks solutions to the world’s most pressing needs, and taking on internships or job opportunities with organisations that share our vision for making the world around us a better place. Our aim is to ensure that UNSW is a diverse, inclusive and equitable community.
So, we want to hear from you!
Your thoughts, ideas, and feedback will help shape how we can all focus our impact and make the world a better place, from tackling climate change, to promoting diversity and inclusion, to boosting the economy, to advancing ethical technology, to supporting mental health and much more.
We embrace the incredible diversity of our student community and aim to make our consultations as inclusive and comprehensive as possible.ÌýÌý
